Biography
“My name is SGT Charles Crispell. I’m originally from Brooktondale, NY. I was in the Army for 8 years as a 91B- Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic. The reason I joined GSI was because of the first thing I saw on their recruiting pamphlet, which was their values. It matched with the military and it seemed to have a brotherhood feel that I enjoyed while serving.”
“I went into the internship and worked on a couple of landslides down in Tennessee and Kentucky for ground stabilization. We drilled nails, mixed cement and put on mesh to secure the ground. I enjoy this and definitely, hands down would say this was the best experience for me. Being able to help communities in a way I would not have thought about. This is a purpose-driven business that I would suggest to anyone.”
